DM Brainiac's Ruins of Azlant: Pretty Women and Green Men (COMPLETE!) (Inactive)

Game Master Brainiac

Crap, sorry about that, I somehow lost track of that. Posting ASAP.

Short on time today, I will update tomorrow.

The second merfolk is still alive! Maybe Ema and/or Victrix can finish it off?

Sorry, works been crazy nuts the last couple of days. I'll try and get something in soon as I can.

Magic Circle Against Evil says "10ft emanation from touched creature"

That means the spell effect can move, correct?

If so, Valentin will cast that on himself when we reach the island. With these nodes extending and perhaps amplifying the aboleth's abilities, I don't want to take chances with mind control.

I have a wand and a couple of communal spells as well.

Yes, the effect moves with the target.

Simon is not denied dexterity, due to Blind Fight, so I believe no Sneak Attack. Does he still take the Bleed damage?

No sneak attack and no bleed damage. Sorry about that! :)

Victrix is up.

What do we want to do with the following?
+2 fire resistance armored coat
+1 vicious battleaxe
belt of physical might +2 (Dex, Con)

If no one else needs it I would like to claim the belt as those would be a big help at this point.

None of them are any good to me.

Take it

The gillmen's actions remain unchanged, even if Ema is not flying. That was just a bit of fluff on my part! She must still make her saves and take her actions for the round.

The loot sheet is up to date, so take a look and claim what you want.

There were several good belts and a headband in that haul. I think some of them have been claimed though I am not positive.

Simon's belt and head slots are taken, but Valentin would appreciate any belt that is left. The rest of you should take the first choices though.

The Rod of Security is awesome! We're definitely keeping that (though it is likely of little import this late in the adventure).

I am claiming the Ring of Curing and Scroll of Resurrection for Valentin.

----

Doesn't look like the last loot split will be impressive (unless you guys all want to sell that Rod of Security). As you level up, make sure to specify what items you want to commission from the adamantine.

There's nothing there Terana needs and since the price of new weapons/armor would be prohibitive given how enchanted my current ones are, probably nothing from the adamantine either. A spare adamantine glaive wouldn't be terrible, but not urgent either.

Completely forgot to get leveled this weekend. I will work on it and have it done by Wednesday.

I'll look at the spreadsheet when I get the chance and mark what I took.

Oh, stumbled on a spell that makes me really wish I'd gotten around to crafting a golem or two now. Summon Construct summons a construct you create to you. Would have been a lot of fun if I'd been able to build several different types of them.

I am levelled up. Nothing particularly interesting. 6th level extracts for Simon, 7th level spells for Valentin.

Just waiting on loot determinations.

It'll likely be tomorrow before I can get all this done. I have a very busy day today.

Oh, for the GM's information, Simon is now immune to all illusion effects that allow a save to disbelieve.

Thanks for letting me know! I'll try to remember this!

Valentin gets access to 7th level spells but has a Wisdom of 16. :(

Looks like I'll need to trade in my current Headband of Alluring Charisma for a Wisdom boost.

When designing this character, I didn't actually think he would ever reach this level.

I can't quite recall what we decided on about the staff of frost. I think I was keeping it but I can't recall.

If you want it, keep it. Nobody else can use it.

Are there any scenes you want to play out now, or shall I move us along?

I think we need to finish up any buying and selling, but there is no RP that I am looking for.

I'm good. Time to kill some aboleths!

Question for the GM. My 6th level extract is going to be Transformation.

Transformation specifically makes it so that you can no longer cast spells. Would this affect my extracts?

If my infusion extracts can be ingested by people with no spell casting ability (ie. Victrix), it makes sense to me that I would also still be able to ingest them after Transforming.

The rest of the bad parts of this spell also have little impact as I can't use Spell Trigger or Completion items now (without UMD)

I believe you can still drink extracts while under the effects of transformation.

I’ll post tomorrow morning.

I realized that Valentin doesn't have a swim speed yet. So, I took the Ring of the Sea Strider. Put his Ring of Protection +2 into the loot sale.

I marked the Staff of Frost for Ema.

Selling everything else nets a 4 way split of 23,880. (The party fund is good, I don't think we need to add anything to it)

If nobody is crafting any Adamantine items, maybe we should sell that ore?

----

I'm going have Valentin's Headband of Alluring Charisma converted into a Headband of Mental Prowess, and I think that will be the end of my funds.

If we get any more, I am not sure what I would do with it.

Waiting for Ema's reaction...

I did come up with one thing I needed to get before we went down here. If I have the funds after what we picked up I need to get Wall of Ice for my spell book so I can recharge the staff of Frost.

Selling everything else nets a 4 way split of 23,880. (The party fund is good, I don't think we need to add anything to it)

That should be sufficient for a scroll. We should each probably get another 16K from sale of the adamantine, but I didn't go that far since Victrix might still want something

I still need to get around to levelling up...

So, which halls do you want to explore first?

The safe one with fluffy bunnies?

I'll like Ema pick.

Yes, this is her scene.

Level Up Summary (Finally!)

+1 Barbarian

+1 CON

+15 HP from CON Boost, +12 from Level Up

+1 BaB

+1 Fortitude Saves

New Class Feature: Indomitable Will

Indomitable Will (Ex): At 14th level, the barbarian gains a +4 bonus on Will saves to resist enchantment spells while raging. This bonus stacks with all other modifiers, including the morale bonus on Will saves she gains during her rage.

New Rage Power: Mighty Swing

Mighty Swing (Ex): The barbarian automatically confirms a critical hit. This power is used as an immediate action once a critical threat has been determined. This ability can be used only once per day. A barbarian must be at least 12th level to select this rage power.

Skills: 4 + 1 (Favoured)
—Bluff, Diplomacy, Intimidate, Sense Motive, Perception

Background Skills
—+1 Profession (Soldier)
—+1 Knowledge (Geography)

Note that Axloral is a real person, not a hologram. And Ema does not remember ever having met him before.

Corrected my post.

I've kinda lost track of this, but are we underwater right now?

You are not.

Simon, there's another door across this room. Did you want to check that one or go back to the hallway and to the next door there?

I suppose I should actually look at the map, sorry.

I would prefer to check the door in this room.

Gotcha, posting shortly.

This coming Wednesday through Sunday my posting will be extremely slow to non-existent as I will be at Gencon in Indy and then two weeks after that for the same days it will be slow again for Origins in Ohio. I may be able to sneak some posts in but I wouldn't count on it.

If I polymorph into a creature that has a bite that inflicts acid damage, do my bites inflict acid damage?

It depends on the ability. I would think you should depending on the spell used.

It isn't an ability though, which is why I am not sure.

The bite of the Hungerer does 2d8+10/19–20/×4 plus 2d6 acid damage.

Monstrous Physique III is the spell I would use. I don't see anything in the spell description that talks about elemental damage from natural attacks.

---

Hero Lab doesn't list the acid damage (though it does list the wisdom drain which is surprising), so maybe not.

I don't think you'd get the acid damage.

All right. Well, I have some alkalai flasks, so once we get him down I should be able to break his regeneration (not sure if Ema has Acid Splash or not)
